Decision Making Tool

GLAD Event Participating Decision Making Tool

GLAD Event Participating Decision Making Tool

This tool is designed to be used for Prides, Tabling Events, Trainings, Panels, CLEs, Keynotes, and other events we attend for the purpose of building relationships with individuals, organizations, and communities. This tool is not designed for honors/awards, GLAD’s own events, nor events primarily designed for fundraising.

This tool does not make the decision, but rather it helps to think through factors that may weigh in your decision-making. Ultimately, you make the decision.
